Concerning redirect?

I was browsing Tumblr when suddenly a new Tab opened with this website

ht tp://virusd etection.com-one.net/us/index.p hp (spaces added 'cause I don’t want a direct link to something that may be a problem!)

with a digital voice going on about how Windows has detected a virus. Before it could even finish it’s sentence I immediately closed firefox and did a scan. It didn’t find anything, but I figured I’d run it by you folks since you guys are the experts.

Occurred with Windows 7 all updates applied, Firefox all updates applied.

Seems like a fake warning site …saying you have a infection and list a number to call

Thanks for the speedy response! I Assume I’m relatively safe then? Since avast found nothing and all? I don’t really know how to use those sites you linked, but I didn’t see it list anything TRULY malicious. (or I’m THAT bad at the internet and missed it! :V)

Depends what you mean by that?

Virustotal can check files for infections, or check urls against blacklists www.virustotal.com extra info found under the extra tabs there
Alternative www.metascan-online.com

You may run this and clear your browsers in case you have some crap there http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

The safest way when you are not sure about malware is: go back to the last image of your OS-system.
It’s my way - I never try to delete malicious software; it takes too much time, and you never know what else is stored on your PC.

Well that may be your way …
We have trained and certified malware removers in the forum that does removal work for free if needed https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

Using system restore and going back does not remove infections … at best it just disable it from starting but infection is still there. If only it was that easy :wink:

If you by image means a full restore to a clean image copy, well that is completely different

I don’t mean system restore functions from the OS. I store an OS-Image with Clonezilla after larger changes of my system. When I step back to the last or second last image malicious software is killed. That is faster and safer than trying to find all parts oft unwanted software. :slight_smile:
